Easy way to add same items every day

Is there an easy way to add the same thing without having to do it every day?

For example, I eat 1 banana,1 apple, and 1 orange every day and add this in the snacks section.

Everyfay I have to add these items, is there any way to add these so it does it automatically rather than having to add the same items every day?

    There isn’t a way to fully automate it. However, you can add these items to a meal, so you can add them at once. Then you’d add your “meal” of the fruit to your snacks each day. You’d still be able to adjust the amounts each day, or if you had to delete one you could.

    Yes ^ this is a great way to add a bunch of commonly logged items at once.

    People keep responding with the same answer to this with 'frequent' or 'meals'

    They are not automation at all, it's binary.

    There is no such automation at this time. Is that a more clear answer?

    You could ask for that feature in the "Feature Suggestions and Ideas" part of the Community, to be considered in a future software release, but it won't happen quickly.

    The closest thing I know of to what you're requesting is that in MFP premium (not free MFP), when adding a food or serving of a recipe, you can add it to the same meal on multiple days among the next 7 days at one time, but only 7 days.

    That looks like this:

    Note: Just to be clear, I don't work for MFP. I'm just a regular user like you, trying to answer your question to the best of my ability.

    Others have told you about close substitutes or work-arounds for what you're requesting.
